ABSTRACT
Family plays a key role in the development of its members. It is immersed in different contexts with which it maintains constant interaction and a continuous process of change and restructuring, always seeking a certain state of balance. These processes, on many occasions, are conflictive. For example, the arrival of a child with a disability in a family is often shocking and will have repercussions throughout their development. This birth is perceived as unexpected and strange, it breaks the expectations of the parents regarding the desired child, and triggers a strong crisis in the family, causing very peculiar psychological and social contingencies. Parents respond to this event according to their own life history, abilities to cope with problems, socioeconomic status, educational level, among other factors. This study aims to describe the relationships, possible conflicts, and forms of communication in hearing parents in whose families one of the children is deaf. It is a qualitative study, predominantly descriptive. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and a sociodemographic questionnaire was applied. Data analysis was performed by constant comparison, coding the data, and building categories. Participants report having experienced what the literature calls a shock phase upon learning of the deafness of their child, as well as a reaction phase in which they begin a process of mourning the imaginary child they have lost, as well as a search for supports that allow them to face the arrival in their family of a child with a disability, and finally an acceptance phase in which, although not everything is resolved, they establish dynamics that favor the development of the child with a disability to a greater or lesser extent, although they continue to live times of difficulties in different aspects of family dynamics. These phases are colored by various thoughts and feelings that they constantly grapple with. Different conflicts were found in family ties. With regard to communication, it is observed that mothers are the ones who have a greater Mexican Sign Language domain, followed by siblings, who become interpreters in different contexts; in general, extended family does not show interest in learning Mexican Sign Language to communicate with the deaf relative, although there are exceptions.REFERENCES
